Transcriber's Notes
There is no captain's statement nor captain's name attached to this manifest.
The sheet of the manifest with passengers from Honolulu gives arrival date as 
Dec 21, 1893.
The following columns had identical entries for all passengers and so were not 
included in the table:
 Seaport for Landing in the US=S.F. 
 Whether in Possession of Money-if less than $30, how much?=yes
 Whether ever in Prison, Almshouse or supported by Charity=no
 Whether a Polygamist=no
 Whether under contract to labor in the US=no (except passengers 33-35)
 Condition of Health Mental and Physical=good
 Whether having any deformities=no 
Letters that are illegible or difficult to interpret are replaced by ?.

4  has been to S.F.  He is going to join "Brothers, Bak Calif Mont."
5  has been to New York 1881.  He is going to join his wife.
7  is going to join Brother John SF.
8  is going to join Brother Thomas.
